Chapter 17: The Right and Left Hand of the King of Wei
"Now that all the evidence of your guilt is in our hands, what is the need to resist?"
Chen Ju struck while the iron was hot, just one sentence instantly made Xiao Yuanqi completely lose his sense of resistance.
Seeing Xiao Yuanqi's cheeks twitching continuously, Xiao Yanheng also stepped forward and stared indifferently at this man who was still arrogant.
"What, do you want to give up?"
"If you really don't plan to resist to the end, let's make it clear to me that what happened here?"
Xiao Yanheng asked in a cold voice, and at this moment it seemed more majestic.
Looking at Xiao Yanheng's expression, Xiao Yuanqi looked depressed, and then sighed helplessly.
"Even if it tracks me down, what's the use?"
"For that adult, I am just a small pawn under his hands, even if I lose me, it will not have much impact on him, on the contrary, he can still have countless means, and there are many people who can do things for him."
"In the final analysis, the power of King Wei was given by you, and now you want to take it back, but you can't fight him, and you can only start with a small role like me."
"It's really ridiculous, the so-called imperial power, is it nothing more than that?"
Xiao Yuanqi sneered and spoke, completely giving up resistance, but he no longer took Xiao Yanheng in his eyes.
In the final analysis, for Xiao Yuanqi, things have developed to this point, no matter what path he chooses to take, King Wei or Xiao Yanheng will never let him go.
In this case, if it is a dead end no matter how you choose, it is better to take this opportunity to say everything in your heart.
"Is that so......"
Xiao Yanheng saw Xiao Yuanqi's idea of self-abandonment, and then looked directly at Chen Ju beside him.
This is naturally the time when Chen Ju should appear, to deal with people like Xiao Yuanqi, Chen Ju naturally has some special means of his own.
"You don't care about your own life, you should always think about your family, right?"
"If you betray King Wei, you will definitely die, there is no doubt about this, but if you can tell everything you know, Your Majesty may be able to spare your life."
"At least, exile to the margins, although it is a little harder, no matter how you say it, at least it will leave you alive."
"Plus your family, if it is really connected to the nine clans, at that time, it will be the lives of hundreds of people in the whole family."
Chen Ju looked at Xiao Yuanqi with a smile, he had already done a detailed investigation before coming here, and he naturally knew a little about Xiao Yuanqi's situation.
What Xiao Yuanqi really cares about is actually his own life.
At the beginning, he gave up his life to save the first emperor, and he was also a warrior.
It's just that after dying once, people often become more aware of the preciousness of life.
In recent years, Xiao Yuanqi's temperament has changed greatly, and he feels that he has worked hard, and his heart has gradually been corroded because of his luxurious life over the years.
He is more greedy for life and afraid of death than anyone else, and because of this, he only needs to be given a little chance of life, and he will return to the appearance of greedy for death and being able to sell everything in pursuit of life.
"Chen Ju is right, although I took your life, I won't get any benefits after all."
"If you choose to cooperate and get rid of the evidence of King Wei's crimes, I can spare your life."
Xiao Yanheng also spoke, after all, it was Chrysostom Yuyan, which could be regarded as giving Xiao Yuanqi a guarantee in disguise.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanqi gritted his teeth, got up, and nodded heavily.
"Your Majesty's words, the criminal minister is naturally convinced."
"It's just that the criminal minister still has to remind him, even if he gets the evidence of the crime, I'm afraid that His Majesty will still be helpless against King Wei, after all, the power in the hands of King Wei is not something that can be shaken overnight."
"You don't have to worry about that."
Chen Ju waved his hand and motioned for someone to lead Xiao Yuanqi down and go directly to prison.
And that night, sure enough, Xiao Yuanqi was very cooperative, and told all the secret transactions with King Wei over the years, and even told many staggering secret things.
In the early morning of the next day, everyone thought that Xiao Yanheng would take the opportunity to do something, after all, Xiao Yuanqi's mansion was seized last night and directly sent to prison in the starry night, which shocked many people.
Many people think that at this opportunity, Xiao Yanheng will definitely make a move against King Wei, even if he can't completely bring down King Wei, it will make him lose face and lose some foundation.
However, Xiao Yanheng rarely canceled the early dynasty, which made many people completely confused.
And the beginning and end of all this is also derived from a suggestion by Chen Ju.
At this moment, in the deep palace, the two are playing against each other, but under this calm chess game, there are also countless undercurrents surging.
"Even if you strike while the iron is hot today and hit King Wei hard, it will be harmless after all."
"It's better to accumulate these evidences first, gradually weaken the power of King Wei, and when his foundation is shaken, and then throw out all these evidences, so that King Wei will not be able to turn over completely."
Chen Ju immediately dropped a piece on the chessboard, but Xiao Yanheng, who was opposite him, suddenly stopped, and then intentionally or unintentionally, mentioned the matter about Ye Chengcheng.
"That woman is good at skills, and she knows how to disguise, let such a person hide in the deep palace, if Tianyi wants to attack you, you should be able to assassinate me in advance, right?"
Although Xiao Yanheng said that his face was unwavering, his words were like a stormy wave, and they hit Chen Ju's heart hard.
He thinks that although there is a connection between himself and Xiao Yanheng, it will not reach the point where he can put his heart in his heart.
There is a top assassin hidden by his side, and this kind of thing has been a taboo that the emperor cannot ignore since ancient times.
"If Your Majesty is willing, you can let her enter His Majesty's harem."
"There will be many eunuchs watching at that time, so that Your Majesty can rest assured."
Chen Ju immediately came up with a countermeasure, hoping to make Xiao Yanheng feel a little relieved.
After all, he didn't want to let Ye Tingcheng leave just yet, this was a very good subordinate, and it would certainly be of great use to his future affairs.
"Isn't my harem all for you to enjoy?"
"Besides, with your means, it should be very easy to get out of my layout, right?"
"The first emperor once warned me that sometimes, as a knife bearer, you may also take the risk of being injured by the blade, and the best way is to use it up, and hide the bow with all the birds."
